preshaping in combination with receive equalization to reduce intersymbol interference due
to channel low-pass effects. High on-chip frequencies are avoided by multiplexing and
demultiplexing the data directly at the pads. Timing recovery takes advantage of a novel
frequency acquisition scheme and a linear phase-locked loop that achieves a loop
bandwidth of 35 MHz, phase margin of 50/spl deg/, and capture range of 20 MHz without a …
